Thanks for sharing, very interesting.
I bet it was a very hard time to work for her.
press/war photographer Gerda Taro (the wife of Robert Capa) mentioned it even more than 20 years later during the Spanish civil war that it were hard times for a female to work as a photographer.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
